I will tell you what there is nothing like trying to get into Second Life, take photos, work in Photoshop, and Blog in the middle of a huge Florida storm. Did I mention we are the Lighting Capital of the world? I tell you we are setting a record outside my window right now.

Tonight at the RFL Cherry Blossom Festival we have the East Meets West Ball! Starting at 7PM SLT and going on to the wee hours with DJ Mistlyn Dreamscape. Don your best party frock whether it be a western style ball gown or your best kimono and come have some fun.

We have some recent additions to the festival.. the latest is a beautiful crane cancer memorial.

Built by the wonderfully talented Lauren Thibauld…she and Zander Greene have been our stellar builders for this event..stop by check this is moving memorial out.

It was a really tough decision figuring out what to wear..soo many ballgowns..so many lovely kimonos on the grid..until I found the Adam N Eve Flora gown in pink..lovely flower blossoms running up my arms..reminiscent of cherry blossoms..I had to wear it…its perfect!

We have a lot of upcoming events planned..check us out any day for picnicking..cuddling..exploring…and stop by for our Silent Auctions, Silent Date Auctions, Art Exhibitions daily.
